HOT-AIR. WALL-REGISTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 705,609, dated July 29, 1902. Application filed March 28, 1902. Serial No. 100,401. (No model) My invention has reference to an improve-- ment in hot-air wall-registers, and has for its object to provide simple and effective means for regulating the supply of hot air admitted to the rooms of a dwelling.

In the construction of myimprovedregister I provide two separate and distinct outlets for hot air, each outlet being controlled by a curved deflector, by which the hot air is discharged in two separate volumes into a room,

thereby insuring greater and more rapid dif fusion, and consequently more eifective ventilation.

In carrying out my invention I employ the 2 5 novel arrangement and the-parts and comb'ination of parts hereinafter shown, described,

and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of my register, showing the same in po- 0 sition in a wall, the operation of the same being illustrated in dotted lines. The section through the register-front is indicated by the broken line a 0., Fig.2. Fig. 2 is a view of the register-front removed from the wall.

3 5 Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the curved deflectors which I employ with my register. 7

Referring to the parts, 1 is a shell or case,

preferably constructed of sheet metal, a hotair pipe 2 connecting with the lower end of the same. At the top of thecase is a rectangular opening 3, through which the 'hOli air may pass into the room above that containing the register, a hot-air pipe 4 conducting the air upward. The case is' formed with a back and side sections, being permanently closed upon three sides, and around the forward side of the same is fitted the register-front 5, the

upper portion of which at 6 is in the form of an arc, and the same is slotted or otherwise cut out to form a grating. In like manner the lower portion of the register-front is curved in the form of an are at 7, and the same is also cut out to form a grating to permit the hot air to pass therethrough'. Pivoted to the case on either side are deflectors 8 and 9 in the form of arc-shaped plates, conforming to the shape of the portions 6 and 7 of the case. These are operated by means of knobs 10 and 11 upon the ends of stems 12 and 13, which pass through elongated slots 14: and 15 and engage notches 16 along the slots. By this means the deflectors may be held in the various positions which they may assume.

17 is a foot-rest supported upon brackets, and the same occupies a position immediately forward of the case between the arc-shaped portions 6 and 7.

The operation of the register is briefly as follows: When the deflectors are in the respective positions shown in full lines in Fig. 1, the passages through the arc-shaped portions 6 and 7 will be closed. The hot air will .then pass upward through the rectangular openingin the top of the case and may be discharged into the room above. Now if the deflectors are made to assume the positions shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1, the. passage for hot air through the top of the case will be closed and the same will be discharged through the-arc-jshaped gratings 6 and 7 in two separate volumes. If the lower areshaped grating is closed and the upper one remains open, the hot air will pass straight upward and out of the upper arc-shaped grating. It is evident that the deflector 8 may be adj ustedat any suitable point between that shown in full lines and that in dotted lines, Fig. 1, to permit part of. the hot air to pass to the room above, the remaining portion passing through theregister-front. The advantage of placing the foot-warmer between the two volumes of hot air issuing from the register is to be observed.
